History

The 1960s and 1970s saw a growing mood of Canadian and Québécois nationalism and a resulting criticism from opponents of monarchy who perceived the institution as an archaic and foreign symbol of colonialism and the British Empire.

The Canadian government (first under Lester Pearson, and then Pierre Trudeau) responded by removing some symbols of the Monarchy in an effort to create a new national identity, though stopping short of completely removing references to the institution. (Additionally, under Jean Chrétien, Government of Canada web site references to the Queen were removed from any prominence and placed under Heritage Canada.[citation needed]) For instance, the Canadian Red Ensign, bearing the Royal Union flag, was replaced by the Maple Leaf flag (under Pearson), God Save the Queen was displaced by O Canada, the Queen's Printer for Canada assumed a less visible role, the Royal Mail was rebranded as Canada Post, among other controversial moves. The Right Honourable Lester Bowles Mike Pearson (April 23, 1897 - December 27, 1972) was the fourteenth Prime Minister of Canada from April 22, 1963, to April 20, 1968, and also a 1957 Nobel Laureate. ...

Supporters of the Monarchy, including John Aimers (then an eighteen year old Progressive Conservative activist who had come into the orbit of former Prime Minister of Canada and ardent monarchist John Diefenbaker), were alarmed by these changes and formed the Monarchist League as a lobby group in favour of the retention of the traditional symbols of monarchy and against what it described as "creeping republicanism" that would result in the eventual transformation of Canada from a kingdom into a republic. The League was heavily involved in opposition against constitutional amendment proposals in the 1970s that would have created the Governor General as Head of State above the Monarch.

Though failing to prevent erosion in some areas, the League did successfully campaign the Government of Canada to maintain a Canadian version of the Victoria Cross as Canada's highest military decoration, and to maintain the Queen's place in the Oath of Citizenship. The League also persuaded Canada Post to issue a definitive stamp bearing the image of the Queen as a mandatory item in all postal outlets (see Queen Elizabeth II definitive stamp (Canada)).

Today the Monarchist League of Canada continues to promote awareness of both the larger body of the Crown as a shared link between the Commonwealth Realms, and the Crown in Right of Canada as an integral institution of the Canadian state, emphasizing in particular those aspects of the Monarchy which it identifies as distinctly Canadian.

Regional branches

Branches and Contact Groups throughout Canada serve as a rallying point for members and undertake a variety of activities in an effort to influence local opinion in favour of the Crown. Contact Groups exist in areas where there is not at present the necessary leadership or interest to form a Branch, but where a responsible member can speak on behalf of the League and serve as a contact point for others. Branches sometimes become Contact Groups and vice versa, according to the availability of suitable volunteers. Local volunteers can deliver and support the League's national education programmes by liaising with educators and classrooms in different communities.
